EDFH Frankfurt-Hahn Scenery 1.2 - released November 2008
This scenery package is published as freeware - for use in X-Plane® 8.6 and 9.x
Copyright ©2008 Thomas Mauss
Important information for pilots who want to do ILS-approaches!!!
Informations:
All ground objects are taken from the Openscenery-X-package (trees, groundplanes and the nice wind power plants), from the EDFH-Freeware-Scenery for MS FlightSim, from the GermanAirports team, and from -Planes global-scenery.
Thanks to everyone who works for and who contributes objects to the Openscenery X. Very special thanks to Thomas Hirsch and GermanAirports.net for their permission to use ground objects and buildings in this scenery. If you use parts of this scenery for own projects, please pay attention to the author's copyright. Feel free to contact me for information!
The layout of the taxiways is coordinated with the sectorfile used by the IVAO-controllers. There are 12 custom start up locations defined.
This is my first scenery project. Any suggestions are welcome!
Buildings will be changed for higher realism, better look and better performance in a later version.
Have fun with this scenery package - and if you´re an IVAO-pilot, please visit the EDFH-Controller-Crew online and give them some traffic (for charts and informations about the airport and the EDFH-CC look here: http://www.edfh-cc.de).
Only non commercial distribution of this package or parts of it is permitted!
Although this freeware shouldn´t harm your hard- and software, use it at your own risk!
Installation:
- Unzip the scenery file
- Install Openscenery X (min. 1.9.5) http://www.opensceneryx.com
- Copy the EDFH folder into your custom scenery folder
If framerates aren´t high enough, deactivate OpenSceneryX, almost all buildings, signs and heavys are part of the scenery, so it´s quiet ok without OpenSceneryX - smaller planes, additional buildings, animals and some objects will be missing.
There are some rendering settings which causes problems in sceneries (EDFH, LSZH ...) using draped polygons for lighting effects (f.e. on my iMac with settings Texture:high and AntiAliasLevel: 4). If you see black surfaces at day then just change settings to f.e. ´very high´ and the problem should be solved.
Please set “Allow sloped runways“ to “on“. It's a bit hilly there and the character of the airport's landscape is reflected much better with this.
If you use the XTRaffix set i had recorded - please send me a comment about how it works!
